Matches and Results:

Final TAICO vs Front Runner College
1st Half 0:1
2nd Half 2:2 TAICO equalised in the last minute of the game

It should be noted that the oldest player in our team is 14 years old. We are told that the Front Runner Team consisted of 17 and 18 years old. Complaints were made to the organizers, who chose to ignore.
